I have been so busy since this event that I haven’t gotten around to posting these yet, and these are just part 1… After the event I spent nearly a month traveling, and since getting back my free time has been soaking into the process of finding and buying a house for my business and for my life! Which seems to be finally happening. Anyway, here goes — for the next few months I will be catching up to the present.

Our lovely postcard brochures… much thanks to Matt Stauble for his photography and design work

Part of Breakfast with homemade bars by Doug Cullen

My morning workshop, Broths and Infusions… making bone broth from roasted turkey necks and cleaned feet

And a variety of infused oils and vinegars imparting their flavors and colors. Lavender pink in the top right

And a hint of whats to come — Katie Grove, local artist, artisan and teacher, who attended and supported our event as a helper, with one of her baskets and the just-created place settings for the lunch

Next comes lunch —-

I am very excited to be a part of the newly reformed Fermenterie, and especially looking forward to this event, which will be our first large event.

I will be offering two workshops, Broths and Infusions, and Cheese Making. Check out our website at Fermenterie.com and our Instagram @fermenterie_ny to learn more about this and future events.

Spring Cookery 2 — Some Next Level Cheeses

Sitting on a tuffet…. separating my curds and whey

Beautiful curds, some of which go into this maddd profeshhhh cheeze mold (a mini yogurt container with holes poked in the bottom)

To become a slightly harder cheese

The next morning…

And then get enchanted! The one on the left — covered in bacon grease and wrapped in cheese cloth in an ancient process of preserving cheese with saturated fats. The one on the right, likewise infused but with strawberry infused Gin — the alcohol in this case offering preservation as well as flavor profiles.
